rituals and superstition but who bothers no one has the time we'll see who
cares anyway one vir Chakra or whatever meaningless award and it is all dumped

Tirukural
A daily chapter
from South Indian saint Tiruvalluvar's Tirukural, 'Holy Couplets.'
Chapter 77:
Merits of the Army
Kural 761
Foremost among a monarch's possessions stands
a conquering army, complete and fearless.
Kural 762
Only seasoned soldiers remain bravely determined
when onslaughts decimate them and threaten defeat.
Kural 763
So what if a legion of rats roars like the raging sea?
The mere hiss of a cobra will deaden their din.
Kural 764
Commanding a long tradition of valor, acquainted
with neither defeat nor desertion--that defines an army.
Kural 765
That indeed is an army which stands together,
even when faced with death's grim fury.
Kural 766
Valor, honor, trustworthiness and a tradition nobly upheld--
these four are an army's protective armor.
Kural 767
Well-trained armed forces will withstand every attack,
then outflank and storm the foe.
Kural 768
Even without a winning offense and defense,
an army of splendid appearance may still win acclaim.
Kural 769
An army will prevail as long as there is
no desertion, no privation and no contention.
Kural 770
Though courageous troops abound,
there can be no army without commanders.
